22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where
he spent some time with them, and baptized. 23 Now John also was
baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water,
and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before
John was put in prison.) 25 An argument developed between
some of Johns disciples and a certain Jew over the matter
of ceremonial washing. 26 They came to John and said
to him, Rabbi, that man who was with you on the
other side of the Jordanthe one you testified
aboutlook, he is baptizing, and everyone is
going to him. 27 To this John replied, A person
can receive only what is given them from heaven.
28 You yourselves can testify that I said, I am not the
Messiah but am sent ahead of him. 29 The
bride belongs to the bridegroom. The
friend who attends the bridegroom
waits and listens for him, and is full of joy
when he hears the bridegrooms voice.
That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
30 He must become greater; I must become less.[a]
31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who
is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one
from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
